A few years ago there was a rule that you had to use a paid program to access your old returns. Now you can do it for free however you must log into the online account and complete a few personal info entry screens to open the menu on the left side of the online program. Once the program is open you have access to all the prior year returns and you do not need to actually use the current year online program to complete a 2022 return.
